I think it will be helpful if we can at least acknowledge that the corona virus presented us with a set of unique and extremely complicated challenges.

And I really hope for humanity's sake that world leaders make more good decisions than bad ones. But given all the variables at play it would be unrealistic (of me) to expect them to make perfect decisions all the time.

I dedicate the following song to everyone who is trying to steer us through this humanitarian crisis.

"Heal the world"

And why can't I buy nail polish and make-up? . People are having conference calls and stuff..... some, just making videos. If I can't take a real life D*ck appointment, at least let me look cute for the cyber version.

Not to mention, fake nails are purchasable. *sigh* Some things are just confusing here.

I wish the govt would ban toilet paper sales in exchange for alcohol sales.

Banksy #stillwaiting

What I was querying is why the ban is being implemented if it is not being done elsewhere?
Which first world countries are heralding SA response?

It's a complicated situation, there's no precedent to base the practical applicsyions on. And you are right to say it's not realistic to expect every leader to make the right call.

We've seen strict and extremely lax action taken in different countries. We can't even decide who is right and who is wrong based on numbers because unfortunately the public information is flawed, for two reasons, because there aren't enough test kits to test the entire world population (also some countries have many more test kits at hand), and the virus affets people from a very minimal manner to a fatal manner.

So best we can do is hope that the country leaders are making the right decisions as you said and that they have a strong plan as to how they will mitigate the side effects the lockdown had on the citizens, businesses and the economy.

When I see how much stricter the law enforcement had to get to enforce lockdown regulations had to get in Europe and Asia, I tend to lean towards the impression that SA is actually doing very well.

It's unfortunate you can't buy those things, it's simply because they are non-essentials. Even though your business thrives on your appearance,it's not something you need, like air, water or food.

Either way, you're fire, with or without make up. I say; own it and flaunt it!

I hear you, but it is hard to understand why I can go buy chips, or coke or cookies, but I can't go buy a cooked chicken...

I think it is a stupid notion not allowing cooked food to be sold. What about doctors, nurses ect that work long shifts.. now they still have to go home and cook?

I do get they're non essentials but I'm saying fake nails are available for purchase. I thought reasons for not allowing certain stuff to be sold was so people reduce ups and downs.

Btw, thank you. I am very flattered ***grin***
